What Right Wing Racism?

Here’s yet another ugly little upwelling of racism from the right wing base, as a Colorado Department of Transportation employee forwards an email to her co-workers containing a photoshopped image of President Barack Obama giving Sarah Palin a shoeshine.

But unfortunately, it’s a simple fact that this picture did originate from the right wing, regardless of this particular woman’s party affiliation — as I show in the links posted immediately above. I have yet to discover it at a single left wing site, except as part of a post denouncing the racism of the right wing. So the idea that this is somehow a “left wing” image is completely silly.

UPDATE at 1/1/10 6:25:58 pm:

By the way, I’m registered as a Republican. But the chance of me actually voting for a Republican again is virtually nil at this point, unless something changes drastically in the GOP. Being registered with a political party tells you nothing about a person’s actual beliefs.
